Russian Doll: How Many Times Does Nadia Die?

8. Episode 1

Now that we've got the spoiler warning out of the way, we can note that this list will also include the deaths of Nadia's new pal Alan (Charlie Barnett), who is stuck in the deathly time loop alongside her, and whose fate is inextricably linked to hers as is revealed later in the season.

And so, on with the list...

Death #1: Nadia is hit by a car while crossing the street to find her cat Oatmeal, and we later learn that Alan committed suicide at the same time by jumping off a roof.

Death #2: After returning from the dead for the first time, Nadia loses her balance on a bridge after Oatmeal disappears, falling backwards into the icy, watery depths below.

Given that she ends up spitting water out when she returns to her birthday party, we can probably assume she drowned rather than being killed by the impact.
